Thus does Mr. Mueller prove himself a fool and unworthy to hold the office he occupies.

May the Christian god have mercy on the UK...
May our Christian God have mercy on you and the rest of the murdering Muslim lunatics during their day of judgement. Crawl back into your Mosque and finish building your shoe bomb.
That is why they prepare to strike London and to win. Otherwise Iraq will be crushed in about eight weeks and Saddam Hussein toppled. When that happens the Western momentum will return in the "War on terror" and the Islamic entente will have lost the initiative.
An initiative that has been frittered away by the West in the last four weeks.
It's not 1940 and the Brits today are not the hardy generation of survivors that came of age in the slaughter of the Great War. These Brits today merely the socialist yield of decades of left wing madness that have permitted tens of thousands of fifth columnists to enter their country and abuse what was once a great Western state.
There are plenty of guns in Britain and acquiring an AK-47 there almost as easy as in downtown Prishtina. The incestuous nature of British law enforcement -- where the criminal gangs sleep with the peelers in a "regulated" passive justice environment -- has completely emasculated Britain's non-intelligence defences. Now it is the Albanian gangs that rule the country -- and they have all the AK's you want to buy at 150 quid/per.
Arming the battlegroup of gunmen was quite easy. The Islamic entente cells needed merely to bring the fighters into the country during the past six months. "Allah's suitcase" they say was a bit more difficult...
The fact remains that Britain is the weak link in the American attack versus Iraq. She is in both an economic and moral decline that has escalated in the last few years to the point she is like a punch drunk former boxing champ showing up on the undercard hoping to collect a payday on old dreams and memories. The Islamic entente will take the UK down at the time most appropriate for the geo-strategic decision to be effected.
Oil hits 36/bbl and "the City" starts to crumble...
Baghdad cannot hope to stop the post-modern American blitzkrieg which is one of the most brilliant battleplans developed in the history of warfare. The modern day Bismarck's go-ahead for a 21st century Operation Market-Garden style airdrop a gutsy and winning decision -- as long as it is the West striking first.
The Islamic entente know this and realise they have only a matter of weeks to preempt the Western onslaught on either the European urban battlefield or the spot market. The UK is the weak link -- where an Eastern Holy Warrior schwerpunkt can decisively check the West. Thus they have prepared to win there...
Hopefully you turn on your CNN or Sky News this weekend and see the breathless "journalist" doing her talking head thing in babbling about "major" arrests in Britain -- with footage of hundreds of suspects rounded up in a massive dragnet of opposition fighters. Blair knows the attack is coming and so do his Ministers -- how many of them will be in London next week? Very few I suspect...
"Tet style fantasy" huh? Maybe, but then again -- maybe not... The clock is ticking on Tony Blair and the Brit security services...
May the Christian god have mercy on the UK...
The forces of freedom on the move. Europe trembles.
Don't you get a little concerned when our president says "Islam is a religion of peace." and when he shows no signs of stopping illegal immigration on the Mexican border? -Tom
Recent discussion of Byrd's position in the line of presidential succession as president pro tem made me focus on this mention of the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 as the act that puts Byrd in that position: until that act was passed, next in line after the vice president were members of the cabinet, starting with the secretary of state. So why did the 1947 Congress make the change? In 1947, there was a recently elected Republican Congress, a Democratic President Truman who had succeeded to the presidency as a result of FDR's death, and no vice president. Had Truman died before the passage of the act, the secretary of state would have become president. In 1947, there were two secretaries of state, first Jimmy Byrnes, then George Marshall. There have been few people who have not admired Marshall, then and now, but Byrnes was controversial, as a segregationist, a Catholic, and for other reasons. And it's possible the Republican Congress was reacting belatedly to the fact that, for some months after Truman became president, the secretary of state was still Edward Stettinius, a man of notably limited abilities. The 1947 act put ahead of the secretary of state in the line of succession the Speaker of the House, who was then Joe Martin, Republican of Massachusetts. I don't even know who was president pro tem of the Senate at the time, but it would have been some senior Republican. I wonder what the real reason for the 1947 act was.
